It was with some sadness that I learned of Marty's passing.

I considered Marty Raab to be a friend and colleague always and then a boss. He always had time for a talk and gave you his full attention when you were with him. Sharp and attuned to business issues but personable and warm with people. He always had plans beyond the immediate issues at hand.

A man of intellect, warmth and humanity. He took great joy from life.

He will be missed.

Gail, Nina, and Jonathan:
Marty was my mentor, my professional rabbi, and while he was transitioning from HLW to his Senior Consultant role he was my office mate as well. I will miss him but I also deeply respect the courage and steadfastness he showed in coping with his illness and his passing. Please accept our sympathies and condolences.
Best wishes from Stanley and Deborah Stark.
